Sindamuka's parents were among the first converts to Anglicanism in his region and he was baptized in 1939. He studied to become a primary school teacher, working at first in Matana. He later became the headteacher in Matana and then Buhiga and subsequently inspector of all primary schools in the Matana area.[1] He married Flavia Kayeye and they had seven children. Later he became the legal representative for church schools of the Protestant Churches Alliance, now called National Council of Churches.[2] He was also a member of the parliament of Burundi for four years, in the first years of the country's independence. He was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1974 and consecrated Bishop of Burundi in 1975. In 1987 he became Archbishop of the Province of Burundi, Rwanda and Boga-Zaire, until it was separated into its constituent countries in 1992.[3] He then became the first Archbishop of the newly created Province of the Episcopal Church of Burundi, from 1992 until his retirement in 1998. His funeral and burial took place in St. Peter's Cathedral, in Matana, the Anglican Diocesan Centre in Bururi Province. The tributes given at the time of his death demonstrated how widely his faith and integrity were respected by both Burundi nationals and expatriates and by church members and political leaders.[4] References1. ^The Anglican Communion Digest: Tribute Article to Samuel Sindamuka, January 5, 2006 2. ^History and details of the National Council of Churches of Burundi 3. ^World Council of Churches details on the Anglican Church in Burundi {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110909233150/http://www.oikoumene.org/fr/eglises-membres/regions/afrique/burundi/eglise-anglicane-du-burundi.html |date=2011-09-09 }} 4. ^Tributes to Archbishop Sindamuka External links
